The discovery, in 1988, that 'iodine-doped' rubber can conduct electricity attracted a great deal of interest [1,2]. However, it also generated some fundamental questions [2]: First, what is the mechanism from which the conductivity of 'I2-doped' rubbers arises? Second, why does cis-1,4-polybutadiene not become electrically conductive by 'I2-doping', but its trans-counterpart does? Third, what is the effect of 'I2-doping' and conductivity in the rubber component on rubber-containing conducting composites and/or copolymers? We have previously demonstrated that 'I2-doping' of cis-1,4-polyisoprene produces conjugated sequences of unsaturated double bonds in the polymer backbone, which confer conductivity. Recently, we have found that 'I2-doping' of cis-1,4-polybutadiene, unlike the trans-isomer, does not lead to the formation of conjugated sequences at room temperature - a finding which leads to the formation of conducting patterns through patterned photoisomerization of cis-1,4-polybutadiene films followed by 'I2-doping'. We have also observed, for the first time, the occurrence of 'I2-doping' of the polyisoprene component in polyisoprene-polyacetylene copolymers.
